Meet Milly! 🐶💚

Milly came to our The Rock branch as an emergency as she had been urinating blood with clots, and the owners had noticed a difference in her as she was quieter, eating less and had a lot of bruising on her body. Milly was admitted to our hospital for further investigations including an ultrasound and blood tests.
During her stay, we conducted a lot of tests to check Milly’s red blood cell count as they were significantly decreasing, and Milly also had zero platelets. With Milly’s red blood cell count decreasing, this meant that she needed to stay hospitalised with us so that we could do a blood transfusion. Luckily, the blood transfusion was a success and Milly’s red blood cell count started to improve and stabilise. Milly’s platelet count also improved. Milly was discharged back to her paw-rents 2 days later once we were happy with her progress, so that she could recover at home with lots of snuggles.

Milly came back to us yesterday for another blood test with our amazing vet, Charlotte, and is showing positive signs of recovery, which we are over the moon about!
During her stay with us, Milly was a star patient and gave the best snuggles to our team, and even stole a lot of our hearts🥰.
It was only right that Milly went home to her paw-rents with a Bravery Award to show off how super duper brave she has been. 🎖️

Thank you for being the best patient Milly! 💚

Meet Marshall! 🐶💚

Marshall came to us as an emergency consultation as he was lethargic and very reluctant to move. Marshall was later admitted to our hospital for further investigations including blood tests, imaging including radiographs and ultrasound, and treatment as necessary to help with his pain.
It was a long road to recovery for Marshall as our team worked hard to get his pain under control, and he also needed surgery to explore his abdomen to ensure everything was okay internally. Marshall also had a naso-oesophageal tube placed so that we could provide him nutrition as he didn’t want to eat.

After some time hospitalised with us, Marshall’s cheeky personality started to show as he started eating small amounts for our team, attempted to remove his naso-oesophageal tube himself… and we even got a few tail wags! 🤣
Marshall went back home with his paw-rents to recover and get a lot more cuddles, just in time for Christmas! 🎅🏻

With everything Marshall went through, it was only right that he went home with a Bravery Award. 🎖️

We are super duper proud of you Marshall! 💚

‼️ SCAM ALERT ‼️

It has come to our attention that there is a scam going around, that some people have fallen victim to.

The scam is people who have sadly lost their pet, who are hoping to find them, are being contacted by people pretending to be a vet in local practices letting them know that they have their pet currently in practice injured and that immediate payment is needed over the phone for their care and treatment, and these people hoping to be reunited with their pet are turning up to practices and finding out it’s not true.

We are disheartened that there are people out there that would play on people’s emotions like this. We try our absolute hardest to reunite owners with their pets, whilst there are people out there taking advantage of situations like this💔.

If you encounter a scam like this, please contact your local veterinary practice directly and speak to them. We are here to work with you, not against you.

Thanks,

Armac Team 💚

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS 🎄🎅🏻

We’ve had one busy elf today donating all of the amazing things our staff, clients and general public have generously donated for local shelters! Our Registered Veterinary Nurse, Charley, used her day off to gather up the donations of carriers, towels, blankets, toys, treats and food, and take them to our chosen places🥰.

Our team at Armac would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all that have donated. We are truly overwhelmed and appreciative of the amount we have managed to collect altogether, in hopes to raise Christmas spirit for animals at local shelters who are still waiting on their forever homes.
We would also like to say a huge THANK YOU to a long standing client of ours, who provided us with a dozen dog cones to add to our sacks!

The shelters we chose for this year are:
🎄 Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary
🎅🏻 Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter
🎄 Pets in Need
🎅🏻 Kitty Rescue Bury
We can’t begin to thank these shelters enough for the hard work and continued dedication they have to helping out animals.

We are hoping the Christmas donation box is something we can continue to do as a team, and also as a community, year after year. Each year we will be selecting 4 local shelters so that we can share the donations out as fairly as possible🥰.

PS… how cute and snuggly is Ramona?! 😍

Thank You,

Armac Team 💚

LET’S STOP THE MUZZLE STIGMA 💔

There are many reasons why a dog may be muzzled, and it can be an important skill for every dog to have. Some of these reasons include:
‼️ If the dog is a scavenger, it can stop them eating anything dangerous when out in public - as well as those that are on strict diets.
‼️ Stops high prey drive dogs from catching and hurting wildlife.
‼️ It can help owners have one less thing to worry about when working with their dog who may be reactive or nervous.
‼️ For fear, pain and illness. A dog can react completely different in these scenarios, and effective muzzle training can help us to provide emergency care quickly and safely.

If you do see a dog that is muzzled, please do not draw attention to it. Instead, give the owner a friendly smile and walk on🤗.

If you need to muzzle train your dog, especially in light of the new guidance for XL bullies, please make sure you:
‼️ Ensure the muzzle has pant room.
‼️ Ensure the muzzle is secure.
‼️ Most importantly, that your dog is happy and has been properly trained before wearing it.

If you are finding it hard to muzzle train your dog, please follow the link below that contains a lot of useful information and guidance:
https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/dog-advice/training/outdoors/muzzle-training

Dogs Trust are also offering free online muzzle training, which provides you with a 45-minute session where experts can shed light on the most suitable muzzle, and answer any concerns or queries you may have.

Please help us break the stigma around muzzles, you never know when a muzzle may be useful for you and your dog.

Cat + Christmas Tree = Festive Scratching Post 🐈🎄

… Not even Santa can resist! 🤣🎅🏻

You’ve heard of the “Twelve Days of Christmas”… now we present the “Twelve Dangers of Christmas”. 😬‼️

Did you guess right? Let us know in the comments if you did! 💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉 Are you thinking of becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse? Our nurses go through extensive training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse and you can too! There are two different pathways an individual can take to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse, which is either the apprenticeship route or the degree route - and each course has to be accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). Both pathways will provide you with on the job training as well as the theory behind it all, and you will be expected to complete a progress log to show that you are competent at particular skills before you can be signed off and registered as a Veterinary Nurse. You will also be expected to have a set number of hours completed for your theory (in college/university) and also for your practical (on the job training). Work experience is crucial if you are wanting to progress in this career. The more experience you gain working with animals, the better! As most pathways will want you to have a reasonable amount of work experience hours behind you prior to applying for the course. Becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse is a challenging but extremely rewarding career choice. It isn’t cuddling puppies or kittens all day, although it is definitely one of the perks! If this is a career path that you are interested in, more information can be found on the link below: https://animalowners.rcvs.org.uk/veterinary-careers/i-want-to-be-a-veterinary-nurse/ #VNAM #VeterinaryNursingAwarenessMonth

Did you guess right? Let us know in the comments if you did! 💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉 Under schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, registered Veterinary Nurses are allowed to carry out minor surgeries such as: 💉 Minor stitch ups / suture wounds 💉 Lumpectomies (as long as they don’t enter a body cavity) 💉 Minor tail amputations 💉 Dental scale & polish 💉 Lance, flush and clean abscesses And many more… #VNAM #VeterinaryNursingAwarenessMonth
